Gentex Corporation partners with Stanley Black & Decker to license the Dewalt brand in the United Kingdom and Europe

Gentex Corporation announced today a partnership with Stanley Black & Decker in the United Kingdom and Europe to license the Stanley Black & Decker DEWALT brand for use with industrial respiratory products. This agreement represents a major opportunity for both companies, combining the strength of the DEWALT brand with Gentex Corporation’s extensive industrial protection product portfolio.

Gentex Corporation’s PureFlo powered air purifying respiratory systems, powered by DEWALT battery technology, give end users the battery platform associated with the power tool range, a new dimension in PPE. The early 2022 launch features a DEWALT negative pressure range, including a disposable range of respirators with FFP2 & FFP3 masks and reusable half masks and full-face masks.

“Stanley Black & Decker are delighted to be partnering with Gentex Corporation and we are pleased to extend the DEWALT license to their industrial product range,” said Paul Samms, licensing director at Stanley Black & Decker, “Gentex offers our customers the highest example of personal protection in the respiratory field and we are excited to bring this range to market under the DEWALT platform.”

“This project represents belief and confidence, in the Gentex product range from Stanley Black & Decker, on a major level,” said Dustin Levy, vice president of industrial safety at Gentex, “To be trusted with the DEWALT brand and to manufacture the products behind that is a testament to the development we have put into our products over the years. We look forward working with DEWALT channel partners throughout the United Kingdom & Europe.”
